Non-Chemical I have a 1 kilogram of gold oxide. I was told that after melting/refining it will be 1 ounce

[Johnny5]

I considered that myself, which is one of the things that tipped me off that something was wrong. However he did mention in another post that it was mixed with jewelry, which conicidentally is another thing that tipped me off that something may be wrong.
There were just too many things that didn't add up in my book. He knew what AR and SMB were, but he didn't know what he had, or what it was worth? Not likely.
Not to mention, he just found out that he has about $50K worth of gold powder, then is not back on the forum for many days.....not likely.

Out of curiosity i contact him when he first made this post.
He kept asking me for references. I told him sure ask anybody you want to about me.
To make a long story short he told me i didn't have enough street credibility and for some reason he kept wanting to quote "Come to my shop to make sure i was legit".
Yeah right! Not sure what his scam was, but i know red flags when i see them!
Never heard back from him after that!

That has got to be one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

It's funny that you fellas think I'm a scammer. Maybe I don't know what the hell I'm talking about.
But this sure is 100%, I did not intend to scam people. I wasn't even looking to sell to anybody on here.


I'm gonna update you guys next weekend with a receipt and pics of my gold.
Getting ready to ship it out. A refiner in Dallas is looking to take it out of my hands. 95% of the spot price which darn good to me.
I just ship it to him. Great company. ARA GOLD.

Whatever I say is just gonna make me look dumber in your eyes fellas. So I'm gonna just take pics of the refined product and a pic of my account.
I was told to expect around 20k-50k. Idk.

You did not answer my question. Why did you post someone else's picture? If you don't give me a satisfactory answer on your next post, it will be your last on this forum.

Improper edit from Lou:

Just a heads up. Last I checked, Nicki owned it, and Don (Kilgore) and his brother John worked there. She retired maybe five or six years back. In any event, they have not owned ARA for at least two or three years. Their scrubbers are running in my facility as I type this. They went bankrupt around that time and a long time refining guy who was involved in the early NTR and also at Dillon&Gage bought the assets and name.


@ Johnny5, I meant to send this via PM (privately, as you are a friend of the Kilgores) but instead edited your original post, losing the content of what you wrote. I sincerely apologize. Clearly I suck at using the PM feature and have done this one before.

In any event, the odds that someone just managed to refine enough stuff to produce 1 kilogram of what he thought was oxide, without having melting capabilities (to just simply melt the material, as was alluded to up thread...)

@ original poster...if we are wrong, go ahead and post a settlement from ARA and let us know how it works out.

No problem Lou. Unfortunately it won't be able to be recovered by a mod, and Google only cache'd up to Palladiums post where he says ""Out of curiosity", and mine was after that.
If I can't recover a cache of it in the next few days, it's not a big deal. I accomplished my agenda.
Hopefully that individual will not be back, and if he does come back without addressing Dave, he'll be banned anyways.
Talk to you soon,
Johnny

What is heavier? A kilogram of gold or a kilogram of gold powder? Expecting around 20k-50k is not 95% of spot price on a kilo of gold. You are going to ship out a kilo of gold in the mail that offered you s price range of a $20,000 difference on a kilo of gold you purified yourself? The story is not adding up. Maybe stick it in some nitric first and see if it smokes?

I find it more and more laborious to live in a politically correct world.

I point to my first comment.

Expecting around 20k-50k is not 95% of spot price on a kilo of gold.

95% of 1Kg of gold at the current price would be $45,502 which is in fact between $20-$50K
I point to my first comment.

You are going to ship out a kilo of gold in the mail that offered you s price range of a $20,000 difference

The difference between $20-$50K, is $30,000...... not $20,000.
